CLASS SONG.
Music by Arthur H. Ryder. Words by Alfred R. Doten.
From the valley to the summit, Stretching upward, ever on, Lies the road that all must travel To the rise of Future's morn. At the parting of the roadway, Stands a figure, old and gray ; Destiny with pointing finger, Says to thee, " Be this thy way !"
It may lead through pleasant meadows, Or where stormy whirl-winds blow ; Or through deserts dry and thirsty, Or to fields of chilling snow. But where'er thy pathway leads thee, Till thy sands of life are run, Act, that when thy task is finished, Thou shalt hear the praise, " Well done !"
